Rain chances are forecast to remain near to slightly above normal through the end of the week. We're not talking an all day rain, but the usual summertime variety of passing showers and storms amidst partly cloudy skies. Rain amounts will generally range from one quarter to one half inch, but heavier downpours could easily produce isolated 1-2" of rainfall accumulation. Winds will begin to firm up a bit with gentle, occasionally moderate, east to southeasterly breezes expected. Highs will remain in the lower 90s. #flwx
